"And my dog goes and bites on to the wires of the TV everyone’s watching and all of a sudden, we notice she’s convulsing and she’s getting electrocuted. And you can’t open her mouth because the person who’s trying to open her mouth is also being electrocuted.
"But she was totally fine."
The star added that Little Dog has been "thriving in Nashville, Tennessee and doing great."
